A Stitch in Time

I have loved embroidery since I was a little girl, and have worked with fabric and threads for most of my life. One of my earliest memories is of standing beneath a family sampler before I could read, and trying to decipher its beautiful letters and numbers. That sampler was lost in a flood years ago, but the memory of it remains, … linking me to the stitcher and her mysterious message. It was perhaps, the start of my fascination with samplers and needlework.
